Please note the following before commencing this procedure

• Documents issued in countries which are signatories of The Hague Convention on the Abolition of the Requirement for Legalization of Foreign Public Documents of 1961 must have an apostille in accordance with this Convention, otherwise such documents must be authenticated by the competent Colombian consul.
• Any document in a language other than Spanish must be officially translated into Spanish and the translator’s signature must be duly legalized or with an apostille.
• If after six (6) months as of the date of notification of the requirement to supplement the documentation the petitioner has not done so, it will be presumed that he/she has no interest in acquiring the nationality and the file will be closed. In this case, the interested party would have to recommence the procedure as if it were a new petition and pay the respective fees.
